I think it explains why Elle killed Budd in the film. When shes talking to him as he dies, shes saying how someone like Beatrix doesnt deserve to die to someone like Budd, because she should have died in combat with a "great" warrior like Elle. But she tells Budd to kill Beatrix because shes afraid to face her herself, even though she wants to. That way, Beatrix dies, Elle gets to take the credit for it herself, and she gets to kill Budd as well, who she obviously doesnt get on with. The snake was just a nicely symbolic way of doing it.
